Oh fer chrissakes. Does anyone honestly believe that? I mean, Jebus H. Crystal Light, it’s not like Nixon had a great handle on things and was just blown out of the water by evil, evil journalists. He was inept from beginning to end, which is why he got caught.

“Is that blog a parody?”

Sort of. I think God created Adam Yoshida for satirical purposes.

The sidebar says:

“This blog is maintained by Adam Teiichi Yoshida: ultra-conservative political commentator.

I live in my parents’ basement in Canada, where I eat twinkies and masturbate over pictures of Ann Coulter; so clearly, I’m fully qualified to comment on everything ever.”

Most people don’t think of themselves as “ultra-conservative” or “ultra-liberal,” even if others do.

That’s why I wonder if the blog is a parody.

McCarthy went after actual enemies of the United States and of the Constitution. And he did so by legal means.

Um, I’m no lawyer but I think the First Amendment actually protects Adam’s so-called ‘actual enemies of the United States’.

someday we will all be enemies of the state.

We tried to get him to guest-blog here a couple of weeks ago, but clearly he’s been too busy on his serious projects.

It ain’t easy being the Arthur Schlesinger of the right-wing cahoot.

As with all wingnuts, I find myself HOPING it’s a parody. But, naw, it’s just Adam bein’ Adam. Looks like he had an extra big, heaping BOWL o’ STUPID this morning. (Oh, and chris, “Fargo” references are ALWAYS welcome as far as I’m concerned.)

I think of him more as the wacky right-wing nephew of John Kenneth Galbraith myself ;-)

Seb’s signature line resonates throughout time…

Eric: The site S,N! linked to is actually not Yoshida’s site proper, but rather a psuedo-mirror. You see, Yoshida’s blog used to have a comment section, but apparently so many people used it to make fun of him that he removed it. The people who run Yoshida 2.0 (the site in question) repost everything Adam writes on their site, which does have comments. So the body is pure Adam Yoshida, but the sidebar is codswallop.

Woah. Dude you just blew my mind.

It is so hard to comprehend that you meant those two statistically improbable phrases are actually opposites.

Woah.

Come on, if these nutters weren’t writing all this crap we would have nothing to laugh and point at and make fun of them about. It’s really amusing that he turned off the comment section on his own website because people were making fun of him. I would have thought he loved all that attention and having all those people to abuse back.

Well, we’ve actually gotten along pretty well with him in the past (he guest-posted here once, as part of a backwards-day sort of deal), and he seems to realize that our relentlessly making fun of him doesn’t mean we dislike him personally. (As opposed to, perhaps, Ed Daley, who seems to be a genuinely mean-spirited person.) But a sense of humor isn’t really Adam’s dominant trait.

I just don’t see where a Canadian who doesn’t live in the United States has any base to comment on things going on in the USA. Wouldn’t you agree, Seb?

Drew Johnston -

Thanks for the explanation.

Look, right after Felt went public, we had Peggy Noonan claiming that he was directly responsible for the Cambodian genocide. This is positively sane by comparison.

My late grandmother once said that “Watergate” never would have happened if they hadn’t torn down the Watergate Restaurant to build the Watergate building complex (we didn’t argue with her because she was senile (>90) and it had been her favorite restaurant).

Yoshida is a Canadian. Why the hell is this guy so obsessed about American politics? Can’t he screw up his own country? Oh, that’s right. Most Canadians think he’s a frickin’ loon since Canada is way to the left of the U.S.

Hopefully, the U.S. Customs Agency is aware of Yoshida and will stop this danger foreign provacteur from entering the U.S. to foment trouble.
